So what will World War III be like? According to Ubisoft’s Tom Clancy EndWar it’ll be an RTS shown from a third person perspective, rather than the traditional top down view most of us are used to. I have to say this aspect makes the game slightly more interesting than the average RTS. Sorry, but the top down view of ant sized characters marching along does not inspire me to proclaim, “Wow! Great graphics you motherbitches!!”

The game pits some of the world’s superpowers against each other as you command the US Joint Strike Force, the European Enforcers Corps or the Russian Spetsnaz Guards Brigade either online against a friend or in the single-player campaign. My question is where is China in all of this? I was led to believe by conspiracy theorists that China would be our main rival in the next, and possibly last, World War. EndWar, you may remember, is that voice controlled game that everyone is worried about. You know, because voice controlled anything has always been so successfully implemented. But no worries because you can use traditional controls to do your part in destroying our planet.
